Thank you to all collaborators for helping to sort through this huge set of data and to the barcoding community for your help in comparing our trends to other systems! This is truly a study were I made friends and collaborators along the way. ⭐.

Klebsiella leaves the lung in two distinct patterns, termed "metastatic" and "direct", which are defined by the extent of clonal replication in primary tissues and predict bacterial burden across sites. Oxidative stress from the host and bacterial LPS influences these patterns.

I'm excited to announce our latest publication! We teamed up with @KHullahalli to barcode Klebsiella and ask basic questions about bacteremia pathogenesis: 1) how are bacteria shared between sites and 2) which host and bacterial factors influence dynamics?.

New pre-print up today! We used bacterial barcoding to measure infection kinetics during bacteremia initiation from the lung. This collaboration was so fun (@KHullahalli and @kg_dailey) and the results were unexpected!.
